Summary

Saltillo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Saltillo, Mississippi, with 684 students. It is part of the Lee County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saltillo Elementary generally performs better than the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 54.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 48% for the district and 49.4% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 14 over the past few years. However, Saltillo Elementary has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.8% to 26.2%, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to the top-performing school in the district, Mooreville Elementary, Saltillo lags behind on many metrics, such as 3rd grade math (54% vs. 77.9%) and 5th grade science (71.8% vs. 87.3%). This suggests that while Saltillo Elementary is a solid-performing school, there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in math instruction. Additionally, the school's high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 53.51% to 99.56%, indicate that it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which could be a factor in the higher chronic absenteeism rates.
